Elgin (Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of) Memorandum on the Subject of the Earl of Elgin's Pursuits in Greece, second edition, one engraved plate and 2 engravings in the text by Henry Moses, inscribed "Sarah Upthorpe April 1932" to title page, front free endpaper torn across lower edge, title working loose, repaired tear to first page, partially affecting engraving, first few pages slightly foxed, plate slightly foxed, original mottled calf, upper cover detached, head of spine missing, slightly scuffed at extremities, edges speckled, 8vo, 1811.⁂This anonymous text, likely written by a member of Elgin's entourage in Greece, recounts Elgin's acquisition of the Parthenon Marbles, defended his possession of them, and offered them for sale to the British Government. This document sparked a notorious debate around the ownership of the marbles, which rages equally as forcefully to this day. "[Elgin] left England as ambassador to Constantinople in 1799 with everything a young man could desire: personal success in the army and politics; a pretty wife; a considerable fortune; the prospect of a great diplomatic career, and good looks into the bargain. When he came home six years later his wife had left him for another man; his career was in ruins; he had run up enormous debts; disease had ravaged his countenance - but he was owner of the finest collection of classical antiquities that any man in the British Isles had ever got together." The English as Collectors, p.155
